Verizon is making high-quality and reliable high-speed internet with no data caps more accessible to customers who qualify for financial assistance through Verizon Fios Forward. First offered to new customers in April 2020, Fios Forward greatly exceeds the speed and capabilities typically available for traditional home Internet assistance programs, and offers eligible customers a discount that lowers the cost of fast and reliable Fios Internet to as little as $19.99 per month plus tax. Verizon Fios Forward, available to new and, now also, to existing customers who qualify for the Lifeline government assistance program, breaks the mold of affordable home internet offers, which often lacks the speed and capacity to meet the multi-user demands of at-home learning and remote work. Rather than create a sub-tier of service that limits the capacity for students to learn and families to seek advancement opportunities in a digitally-dependent future, it helps underserved households access the same Verizon Fios service rated Highest in Customer Satisfaction with Residential Internet Service in the East. New and existing Fios customers must qualify for Lifeline to enroll in Fios Forward2. Eligible customers can then sign up for a Mix & Match Fios Home Internet plan with total savings of up to $20 per month. Plan options include: Fios 200/200 Mbps (300/300 in NYDMA) for $19.99/mo; Fios 400/400 Mbps (500/500 in NYDMA) for $39.99/mo; Fios Gigabit Connection (up to 940/880 Mbps) with router included for $59.99/mo. With entry-level 200 or 300Mbps upload and download speeds with no data caps, Fios customers can experience uploads up to 75x faster and downloads 10x faster3 than comparable plans. The faster speed and increased capacity make a massive difference when family members make video calls, stream content for remote learning and upload files for work or class projects at the same time. Customers may bring their own router, or Verizon will waive router costs for the first 60 days for new subscribers. Qualifying new customers will also be eligible for additional promotions and benefits, including getting up to 12 months of discovery+ on us4 to feed a family’s imagination with content from Animal Planet, Discovery, HGTV, Food Network and more.
